Why Turn Vegetarian?

S0 I am only to number 4 reason and I am all ready opposed to this short. PETA seems criminalize people who eat meat without explaining. Reason one is that heart disease begins in child hood. But what does heart disease have to do with meat? GoVeg.com states on their page "Most heart disease is diet-related—caused by animal products. Research shows a highly significant correlation between the consumption of even small amounts of animal-based foods and the increasing prevalence of heart disease" taking it's information from a study done in 2005. I found an article written in 2008 on Reuters India site (I mention that it is the Indian site because Hinduism practiced widely in India encourages vegetarian diets) which says that "Eating two or more servings of meat a day increases the risk of suffering from a cluster of risk factors known as metabolic syndrome by 25 percent compared to those who had only two servings of meat a week, the researchers reported in the journal Circulation." So reason one given by Peta is grossly over exaggerated to scare the masses into believing that meat is bad, no, red meat is not bad, but not eating red meat or anything for that matter in moderation is bad. Reason 2, vegetarianism reverses heart disease, really any cut in meat consumption and more vegetable in take will reverse heart disease. Number three particularly made me mad, eating meat does not make you fat, over eating anything and not exercising will make you fat, and who are they marketing to, the already super self conscious teenage girls of the world, this film is suppose to attract teenagers evident because the use of edgy music, young actors and shortness of the film, do we really need more media telling us not to get fat.

I really did not want to see the rest of the film but I did. All this mud slinging reminds me of a presidential debate. Completely one sided and not completely true. PETA has the right to get their beliefs out but I would prefer the whole truth about everything not just half the truth. P.S. the images of the abused animals that is the exception not the norm, there are laws against treating animals in the manner shown and if this still bothers you, use your purchase power to buy free range animals and organic.
